Doing what ?
Winning any WVR fight with absolute ease.
Mig-29 got nerfed and Su-27’s only niche were the 27ERs that looked way better on paper than in game, as 100m MP height stopped any SARH meta from forming.

Missiles stop the duel.
Aim9M vs MAGIC 2…good luck
It isn’t good site.
If you actually compare numbers on the graph, you’d notice that they are actually quite similar to those found on statsharks sim…
For the MICA at least, theyre just about dead on. The AMRAAM seems to underperform on statshark if the graphs are still correct, seeing as the graphs are from version 2.37.0.77 and the game is currently sitting at version 2.43.0.114.
It can carry 6 A2A missiles with 16-18 A2G munitions, only plane that can also carry 6 A2A missiles is Rafale but in return it can only carry 7 A2G munitions.
Typhoon still has the edge in that case.
Its true that F-15E can carry nearly as many A2G weapons, however in return it looses half of its countermeasures, becomes basically bus that cant be evade enemy SAM missiles properly and looses half of its A2A missiles.
Not to mention unlike Paveway IV’s you have to constantly lasing enemy units in order to hit them with GBU-12’s due to not having IOG+GNSS.
Its not, MICA missiles lacks quite a bit range compare to AIM-120’s and thanks to EFT’s superior flight performance you can easily beat Rafale on long distances.
As i’ve said this is the only area that EFT truely suffers.
Its not.
It can recieve Brimstone 2 with laser mode and more Paveway options but thats it.

To be fair, Meteor or other more advanced Fox-3 implementations must come along bigger maps like 2x - 3x the size now. And how long from Meteor? F-22 is in internal development (a dude on discord told me that) F-117 is the first step into stealth technology. Maybe we will see something VERY big this year’s Christmas regarding air?
Once you’ve merged with the EFT, your missiles become a deadweight.
Watch the actual video please, his opponent actually tried with Magics at the start, but found no real use to them in the dogfight.
Not true.
These duels work on the notion either aircraft has the same fuel load.
And no weapons.
A Typhoon ambushed by a Rafale that has just spawned and has a higher fuel load and loaded pylons.
And like wise a Rafale in similar circumstances.
Guns only dogfights are only one part.
Holy yap

nahh i’m just kidding
Friends, I want to know if HOPE and HOSBO have the same fire-and-forget capability as the AGM-65.
Aircraft could have and did have missiles if it boosted their performance in their dogfight, like the 27SM did. So again, please watch the video because you surely didn’t.
Anything ambushed is at an disadvantage, but for EFT it’s surely way less of a predicament than for others. Jettisoning your ordnance is a thing as well.
Once again, this wasn’t guns only dogfights.
Day 65 waiting for the radar fix 💤💤💤

The video footage was.
The question is would you rather have marginal performance over the best Radar the ability to carry 8 ARHM? A superior HMD?
But yes Typhoon wins in a guns fight…
They have an iir seeker I think, but It might just be for terminal guidance.
